AUTHOR'S NOTE: A little late, but I'm happy because Harry Potter is coming out on Friday! So excited! By the way, I do not own Harry Potter or any official Harry Potter merchandise. But I do have a copy of the books and movies, but hey, who doesn't? (You, probably, but that's okay!) Anyways, I'm kind of on this writer's blockage type of thing. I mean I know what I'm going to write, but I don't know how to put it into words you know? Confusing though, isn't it? Well on with the story!
CHAPTER THREE – The Band
"I'm here!" The auburn haired girl yelled as she got out of her car, carrying a tray full of coffee merchandise from the one and only STARBUCKS. (AN: I do not own Starbucks.) "Okay, whose thirsty?"
"Thank you." Quickly said by John as he swiped one out of what seemed to be like four hundred cups of coffee. "Coffee, black, my favorite."
"No surprise, your coffee's like you.........bitter." Mimi said as giggles were heard behind her.
"Shut up Pinky." John hissed back and to that, it really did shut Mimi up.
"HEY!" she retorted.
Sora made her way around the mess of people and their instruments. "There you go, Mick." Sora said as she handed the brunette his coffee.
"Thank you Sora." Mick said melodically.
"Your welcome." Sora said back
"Kenny,... Nate,... Tai, Izzy, Mimi, and...... Matt." Sora said as she walke daround the maze handing people people their coffee, before plopping down next to Matt with a cup of coffee of her own.
"Ah the sweet smell of coffee in the morning!" A smiling Tai said with his nose in the air smelling the aroma.
"Tai it's six." Nate said annoyed.
"IN THE MORNING!" Tai said annoyed also, but said also to prove his point.
"Tai, it's six at night." Izzy said annoyed.
"In the night then! Wait what? Why are we drinking coffee now?" Tai questioned.
"Are you okay, you're acting ditsy-er than me?" Mimi asked laughing a bit.
"Must be drunk," John muttered.
"Hey! Shut up." Tai yelled.
"Tai, we always drink coffee before the guys do their band practice." Sora said also annoyed.
"Duh." Tai said not knowing where the point of this conversation was actually suppose to go.
"Thanks for the coffee Sora, it's okay you were late today, coffee's still good." Mimi said lifting her coffee up to talk to Sora.
"Thanks?" Sora said somewhat confused.
"Hey, give Sora a break, it's the first time she's been late in a year and a half." Nate said laughing a little.
"Sorry Sor! But if you guys didn't notice, it was sarcasm erupting, duh!" Mimi said. "One of these days Sor, I'll buy the coffee."
"Oh and was that sarcasm?" Kenny, who had been very quiet, just said as the garage they were in filled with laughter.
"No!" Mimi said with an annoyed look on her face. "I will." She muttered with a defeat look upon her face.
"Gosh Sor, you must be broke buying us all this coffee for the past year and a half." Nate inquired.
"Yeah I am." Sora said in a sarcastic, yet mellow way.
"Hey Sor, it's okay, you'll be a famous fashion designer and who won't even notice the money you've waste keeping us hyper." Matt said assuringly and sarcastically. Sora playfully hit him on the arm.
"Why don't you guys hustle and finish the coffee's so you could play me my music." Tai said throwing his empty coffee cup in the trash can from where he was an laying back on the couch he was sitting on, relaxing.
"You music?" John asked annoyed.
'Yeah, my music, I mean I practically wrote the songs." Tai said smiling.
"Tai, all you did was sit there and asked 'Are you done yet? ... Are you done yet?' every five minutes while the guys wrote their songs!" Sora said laughing.
"Hey, most of that one song that they sang was all me!" Tai said trying to overcome the roar of laughter from everyone else, but himself.
"Oh yeah I remember that one!" Kenny said. "How did it go?"
"Oh, oh I know!" Mimi yelled. (AN: To any girls who read this {or guys it depends} if you ever remember the paddy cake type of rhythm, with the words and stuff that we supposedly did in elementary school, this is kind of that rhythm too, jut to help you get the groove.) "My name is Tai-Tai-Tai...."
"I am a guy-guy-guy." Nate added along with me.
"I drink Mai Tai-ai-ai." Kenny joined in with the group.
"Every nigh-igh-ight." Sora and Matt added along, much to Tai's dismay.
"And it is crude-crude-crude. Cause then I get nude-nude-nude. Which is no good-good-good. Well at least you know I'm a dude-dude-dude. I run around- round-round. Cause I'm not bound-bound-bound. I am never ending talk-talk- talk. Cause this doesn't stop-stop-stop. (Everybody points to their mouth except Tai, who has his arms crossed at the moment.) Cause my name is Tai- Tai-Tai. That one guy-guy-guy. Who drinks Mai Tai-ai-ai's!" The song loudness goes up and gets broader until finally collapsing at the end.
"Are you done yet?" Tai asked annoyed.
"Bom........" Matt added at the end.
"Now we are." Kenny said with a smile.
Tai sticks out his tongue at him. "I don't even know what a Mai Tai is! And I should be able to get half credit for that song whenever you sing it!"
"Don't worry , you will." Sora giggled.
"So let's get going and practice before tommorow night's concert." Matt said getting up from his comfy spot." Everyone done with your coffee?" Matt asked as he got the trash can around to see if anyone put put their trash in it. "Sora?" he asked gesturing the trash can to see if she was done with her coffee.
"No I'm good," Sora said,
"Want to savor it huh?" Matt asked smiling.
"Cha-yeah! I paid good money for it!" Sora said as she playfully kicked him.
"Okay so let's clean up the trash." Izzy said as he picked up his trash.
"Okay, Wolves,...let's get this show on the road." Matt said as he reached for his guitar.
Nate, Kenny, and John got up and set their instruments to face the audience, Mimi, Sora, Tai, and Izzy.

"Um, song #14 guys?" Kenny asked.
"One and only." Matt said in his cool tone.
MUSIC PROGRESSES MATT STARTS SINGING
'Gosh, he's so cute. And he's my boyfriend! EXCITING! Okay, must not burst out dancing, must not burst out crying, must not dance or cry. Stay calm. Stay cool.' Sora thought to herself as Matt sang and she sipped her coffee.
'Sora this is for you, you and your coffee. Do you ever separate from it? I love that girl and her coffee. Has to have it special ordered and everything. I know the order by heart. Tall, grande, bold Italian roast latte, with half and half, lots of foam, five packets of sugar, dash of cinnamon, dash of vanilla, and tangy kick, two shots. That girl can order a drink,weird taste though. Love her to bits nevertheless.' Matt thought to himself as he sang his heart out to Sora.

"Nervous?" Sora asked Matt backstage20 minutes prior to the show, as she was wiping the sweat drops off of Matt's head, with a wet towel.
"A little." Matt hesitantly said with a little laughter, as he crack his hands and fingers and neck.
"Hey don't do that, it'll make your bones bigger and stuff, or so I heard." Sora said as she grabbed his hands.
"Yeah, sorry I do that when I'm bored and/or nervous." Matt added with a smile.
"And/or nervous?" Sora smirked.
"Yeah, and/or nervous." Matt smiled back at Sora.
"Well you shouldn't be, cause you're gonna be great, like you always are." Sora said as she looked at Matt.
"What would I do without you?" Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around Sora.
"I don't know, cause after all, you can't survive without me, it's a proven fact, I mean look at yourself before me." Sora sarcastically said as she looked into Matt's sapphire eyes.
"Oh yes, the worst seventeen years of my life." Matt sarcastically said as he looked into Sora's eyes.
"I bet." Sora sarcastically, and motherly said.
"Yes, I was on the wrong path, too many girls, too much parties, too much alcohol, too much sex...." Matt dozed off.
"Shut up!" Sora said as she put her finger on Matt's lips. For a what seemed to be longer than it really was, they looked into each other's eyes, before embracing in a kiss.
"Hey lovebirds! We're on in 15!" Nate shouted as Sora and Matt broke away from their kiss.
"Why does that always happen?" Matt asked. "Always in the kiss, never before or after, always in."
"I don't know!" Sora laughed.
"Matt let's go do the pre-show crap!" John shouted as he entered the stage.
"Kay!" Matt yelled back as he jotted off, but he came back for a peck on the cheek with Sora.
"Knock 'em dead." Sora giggled as Matt kissed her cheek, but as he darted off she added, "Not literally!"
"SORA! WHERE ARE YOU?" a very screechy voice shouted in the background somewhere.
"Mimi? I'm over here!" Sora shouted back.
"Oh hey, there you are!" A mellow, relieved Mimi said as she approached Sora.
"How did you get in here?" Sora asked, confused that she was backstage, when only a certain few are allowed to be.
"This little thing." Mimi smiled as she held up a VIP card, with both hands like a child with a lollipop, and she stuck her tongue out sideways too to clarify that picture.
"How did you get that?!" Sora gasped as she snatched the card.
"Snatched it from the front." Mimi said satisfied with herself.
Sora paused for a moment, the sercurity lock in that ticket office is pretty secure, "No you didn't." she stated.
"Okay I didn't! Izzy made it. Isn't it cool!?" Mimi said with a tone that knew Sora would figured out she had lied.
"Izzy made one for you and not himself?" Sora asked confused.
"No, I never said Izzy made only one." Mimi smiled.
"How many did he make?" Sora asked in her motherly tone, while crossing her arms.
"Well, they have one." Mimi said, kind of scared.
"They?" Sora asked.
"Tai and Izzy." Mimi answered.
"So just two?" Sora asked, motherly.
"Yeah..." Mimi trailed off.
"Mmm hmm, what would you like to add?" Motherly Sora asked.
"Plus, about 20?" Mimi asked with a defeat look upon her face.
"20?" Sora said with a defeat look on HER face, and she didn't yell it either, she gave the "I'm so disappointed in you" tone from a mother of course.
"Well, it's not like we've sold them yet." Mimi added.
"You were gonna sell them?" Sora asked.
"Kind of, well yeah. We had it all worked out, Tai would use his popularity to get people to know about it, Izzy would make it and I would be the one selling it." Mimi added, trying to cheer up Sora, and not get her mad.
"You were gonna sell it and not let me in on it!?" Sora asked, hurt.
"Well yeah, sorry!" Mimi said to Sora with a smile. "We just didn't know what you'd contribute to this bargain. You do, not have the skills to pull this off you know."
"True, true." Sora agreed with a smile.
"Where are the two accomplices anyway?" Sora asked.
"Somewhere around here, probably talking to the dancers." Mimi said as the girls both laughed.
"So how stupid are you anyway to walk backstage with a fake ID anyway." Sora asked, still laughing.
"Well it's not like that guy who's letting us in all that bright anyway, and besides a boy genius made these babies!" Mimi ecstatically stated as she pointed to the card.
"Well, how stupid are you for walking up to me with a fake ID anyway, when you know I'd get mad?" A still laughing, yet motherly Sora said.
"HEY, I'm not stupid, I totally resent that. And anyway, I knew you couldn't be mad at me for long." Mimi stated sticking out her tongue at Sora.
"True, true." Sora agreed.
"And besides, I don't even know why we don't have backstage access and you do, when we're friends of the band too" Mimi said gesturing herself and Sora.
"I'm the lead singers girlfriend." Sora said with a proud look on her face.
"Throw that in my face again!" Mimi sarcastically said with a laugh.
"Oh are you saying you're jealous of me and Matt?" Sora added with a laugh and hint of sarcasm.
"Yeah, I'm saying that, Whatcha gonna do about it huh?" Mimi said, with her sarcastic bring it on voice.
"What am I gonna do about it?" Sora said, gesturing herself.
"Yeah, you." Mimi said, with a laugh.
"Yeah." Sora added.
"Yeah." Mimi added.
"Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." Went on in a broader voice span between the girls, before...
"Hey guys." Said Tai, with a mouth full of food and a sub sandwich in one hand. And accompanied by Izzy. "Whatcha fighting about?" he added as tomato and lettuce flew out of his mouth.
"Tai swallow the food in your mouth already!" an annoyed Izzy said. Tai gulped.
"We're not fighting?" Sora said confused.
"Why were you yelling?" Tai asked, with mayonnaise on the side of his mouth.
"Girl talk." Mimi said, offended.
"Girl talk?" Tai asked, wiping his mayonnaise.
"Yeah, got a problem with it?" Sora asked Tai, while crossing her arms.
"Best to leave that topic alone." Izzy said with his hand up by his mouth and head pointed toward Tai, only talking to Tai and whispering.
"Ah. Right." Tai said, getting the picture.
"It was just a bit of fun, no harm done." Sora said to answer Tai's question.
"Fun?" Izzy asked drawn into the conversation.
"Yeah." Mimi included.
"It is fun for girls to yell at each other?" Izzy asked, confused.
"Yeah!...Sometimes!" Mimi added.
"Oh just leave it alone, you're not a girl." Sora ended.
"And thank gosh! I'd be confused all the time, you women are too hard to understand." Tai said as food flew out of his mouth.
"You'd be confused all the time? What's the difference from now?" Izzy added.
"HEY!" Tai said after a few minutes of thinking about it. (As a tomato hung from his mouth of course.)
"Gross Tai." Sora said grabbing a napkin and wiping his face for him.
"Thanks Sora." Tai said with a hungry look on his face still.
"Where did you get that sandwich from anyway." Sora asked, suspicious.
"Oh, over there, it's on the long table, and all this other food was on it too, it was just sitting there, waiting to be eaten, and it's FREE! It even said so!" Tai said pointing to a far off place.
"Omigod, Tai, did you eat all the food?" Sora asked, kind of frightened and worried.
"Yeah, me and Izzy here pulled a Shaggy and Scooby and clean that thing up." Tai said very proud of himself. (An: I do not own any Scooby Doo things or Scooby Doo related official stuff.)
"Hmm mmm," Izzy gestured toward himself. "Me and Izzy?"
"Oh sorry, Izzy and I. Happy now?" Tai said correcting himself. Izzy gave a look upon his face that just gave up. (Cause that's not what he meant, and I'm telling you this in case I don't imply good innuendo.)
"TAI! That's the food for the people!" Sora said, pretty angry toward Tai.
"What?" Tai asked confused.
"Camerman, lightmen, soundmen, behind-the-scene people and the band, during the intermission." Sora added, with a look of annoyance.
"And yes, where are these 'people' you say?" Tai said with quotation mark fingers, not convinced.
"The shows on Tai, people need to work you know." Said Sora with her arms crossed.
"When will they eat it?" Tai said, still unconvinced that they would need the food.
"It's a courtesy, and it's during intermission." Sora said.
"OH! That explains it!" Tai said with a hesitant laugh.
"Tai! Even I knew that, and I haven't been backstage before!" Mimi said gesturing herself.
"What are we going to do?" Sora asked, worried.
"I have an idea!" Izzy said.
"Go figures." Tai added.
"Shut up Tai!" Mimi and Sora said in unison as Tai gave an anime sweat drop.
"Yolie's family owns one of those convenience stores, she owes me a favor anyway for fixing her computer club's computers." Izzy stated.
"And you think they have those food thingys?" Mimi asked, confused. "I've never been to one of those before!"
"Of course you've never lifted a finger to work before, you're rich." Tai said.
"Doy Tai." Mimi said.
"Thank you so much Izzy!" Sora said as she gave Izzy a hug.
"Hey no problem, let go. I'll be back in time for the intermission? Is that when they serve the food?" Izzy asked as he got out his keys.
"Yeah." Sora said.
"Okay, be right back." Izzy said as he headed toward the door.
"Wait, take Tai with you, I don't want to babysit him!" Mimi said as she pushed Tai toward the door.
"Babysit?" Tai asked, shocked.
"Chayeah! Just go." Mimi said as Izzy shrugged his shoulders and headed toward the door, followed by Tai.
"Now, do you see why we don't give backstage passes?" Sora asked Mimi when the boys left.
"Yeah, I'm beginning to see why." Mimi said still dazed at their conversation.
"Want to go find our seats?" Sora asked, pointing the way.
"What, oh yeah sure." Mimi said walking toward the door that leads to the audience.
"No, we're watching this in style." Sora said as she pulled Mimi around the curtain and up a little flight of stairs hidden behind the curtains on the other side.
"Where are we going?" Mimi shockingly asked.
"You'll see." Said an excited Sora, as they reached the end of the stairs to a platform atop the stairs to see the band from directly above.
"As I stated before, where are we going?" Mimi asked.
Upstairs
"Here. It's a little spot where no one else goes." Sora whispered to Mimi as they sat down.
"Why are we whispering? And why does no one go here?" Mimi asked.
"The lights don't work." Sora stated. "It is, or was a light stage thing, where they control the lights."
"But how do the lighting people do the lights?" Mimi asked.
"That thing." Sora said pointing to the lighting booth across the stage. "It's new, better technology, better than standing up here the whole time."
"Wasn't that always there?" Mimi inquired.
"No." Sora laughed. "Shh, it's starting.
"I wasn't the one talking, but okay." Mimi muttered.
"Oh, isn't he just handsome!" Sora squeaked from atop.
"Oh come on, you can only see the top of his head!" Mimi whispered jokingly.
"It's still cute! Every golden lock is in place." Sora said as she looked down gazingly toward Matt.
"Oh how cute, you could probably tell it's him from 'behind.' " Mimi said.
"I probably could." Sora laughed.
"Well, then I give you my blessing." Mimi laughed.
"Your blessing?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, you are now accepted as an official couple." Mimi said proudly.
"And since when do we need your blessing to be an official couple?" Sora said.
"Since forever! Everyone knows that I'm queen of social status!" Mimi said proudly.
"Oh I get it Queen Mimi." Sora joked.
"Yeah, laugh if you may, but I really am." Mimi simply stated.
"I'm just joking with you! But, curiously I would like to ask, why didn't we get this blessing sooner? We have been goon out for a year." Sora asked Mimi.
"Well, to tell you the truth I, um, actually..." Mimi stuttered a bit.
"What?" Sora laughed.
"I thought I liked Matt okay!" Mimi burst out, loud enough for only Sora to hear, as there was still a concert going on.
"Yeah, everyone does." Sora said in a laidback voice that didn't even care.
"You didn't phase? You okay? Shouldn't you be mad that I thought I was in love with your boyfriend?" Mimi asked, stunned.
"Eh, I'm used to it by now, I mean every girl loves Matt see." Sora said, laidback, and pointing to tons of pposters that said 'I love Matt Ishida!' and 'Will you marry me Matt?' "and I kind of figured so anyway." Sora said, still in her laidback voice.
"Oh, was I that obvious?" Mimi said stunned at herself.
"'Matt can you walk me to class? Oh Matt I've seemed to have dropped all my books!'" Sora said mimicking Mimis voice in a joking manner.
"I'm so sorry Sora." Mimi said, kind of guilty that she use to like Matt.
"Well, I gotta get use to it, if my boyfriend is gonna be famous." Sora said proudly.
"So you're not jealous at all?" Mimi asked.
"Not at all." Sora said laidback.
"Wow." Mimi said shocked.
"It's the love." Sora stated as she got up form her laidback position. And Mimi drew closer to hear Sora's words. "It's like I feel like I'm flying without wings and I'm not scared, but I am, but I'm not. Because I know I could get hurt, but it's okay, cause it's worth it and I know Matt will be there to catch me. And I know it sound corny and cliché and cheesy, but that's how I feel about him and it's just the happiness that I want to capture and treasure for the rest of my life."
"That was beautiful Sora." Mimi said, tears swelling up.
"Why did you tell me you like Matt anyway?" Sora asked wanting to know.
"Well, I think I kind of like someone else." Mimi said as she blushed.
"Who?" Sora asked, obviously wanting to know.
"Well it's..." Mimi started.
"Well it's time for the intermission, but don't worry girls, the teenage wolves will be right back!" The announcer yelled over the speakers.
"I never knew you have 'intermissions' like this during concerts." Mimi stated.
"Me too, but apparently, they do." Sora said, "I can't believe we talked all that time during the first half."
"Yeah, but at least we paid attention to the first two songs." Mimi suggested.
"No we didn't." Sora laughed.
"Hey, I tried, but it's not like you've never heard their songs before." Mimi said, shrugging her shoulders.
"True, true. Let's go meet up with the band." Sora said, dragging Mimi up and down the stairs.
"Okay!" Mimi said as she was dragged down the stairs.
Downstairs
"Hey Sor, so, how did we do?" Matt asked as Sora came down the stairs.
"Um, unbelievably charming! Definitely one of you best performances honey." Sora said as she embraced in Matt's arms.
"Hey where's Tai and Izzy?" Mimi asked, looking around.
"Oh talking to the dancers." Matt said pointing somewhere.
"What!?!?!?" Mimi gulped as she ran to the direction that Matt was pointing.
"You guys don't have dancers." Sora said, looking at Matt.
"I know that and you know that, but she didn't need to know that." Matt said as he smiled at Sora.
"Where are Tai and Izzy anyway?" Sora asked.
"Oh, they dropped off new food apparently, because some dork ate everything else." Matt laughed as Matt and Sora sat across from each other at a table. Sora laughed hesitantly.
"Um, where are they now?" Sora asked.
"Somewhere, trying to pass themselves as teenage wolves to our fans." Matt smiled in his 'cool voice.'
"Oh, so how many minutes do you have left for the intermission?" Sora asked hinting something.
"About seven minutes." Matt said. Suddenly, Sora and Matt gave a look to each other and abruptly stood up and ran off to somewhere. (AN: To give you a better idea of this part, if you ever watch 'That 70s Show,' which I do not own, it's like the part when Red and Kitty look at each other, whenever one of them mentions that Eric's not home.)
END OF CHAPTER THREE
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I think I made Tai to ditsy, and I'm terribly sorry! I'll try to make it better next chapter. I'm too lazy to proofread. I will someday. I'm pretty happy I finished this, and on June 8th at one a.m. And I started like on June 2nd around, I forgot. Well, sorry to leave you with this innuendo, but I really don't want to explain this part. It's innuendo anyway. Well, till next time!

But I do have a copy of the books and movies, but hey, who doesn't? (You, probably, but that's okay!) Anyways, I'm kind of on this writer's blockage type of thing. I mean I know what I'm going to write, but I don't know how to put it into words you know? Confusing though, isn't it? Well on with the story!
CHAPTER THREE – The Band
"I'm here!" The auburn haired girl yelled as she got out of her car, carrying a tray full of coffee merchandise from the one and only STARBUCKS. (AN: I do not own Starbucks.) "Okay, whose thirsty?"
"Thank you." Quickly said by John as he swiped one out of what seemed to be like four hundred cups of coffee. "Coffee, black, my favorite."
"No surprise, your coffee's like you.........bitter." Mimi said as giggles were heard behind her.
"Shut up Pinky." John hissed back and to that, it really did shut Mimi up.
"HEY!" she retorted.
Sora made her way around the mess of people and their instruments. "There you go, Mick." Sora said as she handed the brunette his coffee.
"Thank you Sora." Mick said melodically.
"Your welcome." Sora said back
"Kenny,... Nate,... Tai, Izzy, Mimi, and...... Matt." Sora said as she walke daround the maze handing people people their coffee, before plopping down next to Matt with a cup of coffee of her own.
"Ah the sweet smell of coffee in the morning!" A smiling Tai said with his nose in the air smelling the aroma.
"Tai it's six." Nate said annoyed.
"IN THE MORNING!" Tai said annoyed also, but said also to prove his point.
"Tai, it's six at night." Izzy said annoyed.
"In the night then! Wait what? Why are we drinking coffee now?" Tai questioned.
"Are you okay, you're acting ditsy-er than me?" Mimi asked laughing a bit.
"Must be drunk," John muttered.

"Duh." Tai said not knowing where the point of this conversation was actually suppose to go.

"Thanks?" Sora said somewhat confused.
"Hey, give Sora a break, it's the first time she's been late in a year and a half." Nate said laughing a little.
"Sorry Sor! But if you guys didn't notice, it was sarcasm erupting, duh!" Mimi said. "One of these days Sor, I'll buy the coffee."
"Oh and was that sarcasm?" Kenny, who had been very quiet, just said as the garage they were in filled with laughter.
"No!" Mimi said with an annoyed look on her face. "I will." She muttered with a defeat look upon her face.
"Gosh Sor, you must be broke buying us all this coffee for the past year and a half." Nate inquired.
"Yeah I am." Sora said in a sarcastic, yet mellow way.
"Hey Sor, it's okay, you'll be a famous fashion designer and who won't even notice the money you've waste keeping us hyper." Matt said assuringly and sarcastically. Sora playfully hit him on the arm.
"Why don't you guys hustle and finish the coffee's so you could play me my music." Tai said throwing his empty coffee cup in the trash can from where he was an laying back on the couch he was sitting on, relaxing.
"You music?" John asked annoyed.
'Yeah, my music, I mean I practically wrote the songs." Tai said smiling.
"Tai, all you did was sit there and asked 'Are you done yet? ... Are you done yet?' every five minutes while the guys wrote their songs!" Sora said laughing.

"I am a guy-guy-guy." Nate added along with me.
"I drink Mai Tai-ai-ai." Kenny joined in with the group.
"Every nigh-igh-ight." Sora and Matt added along, much to Tai's dismay.
"And it is crude-crude-crude. Cause then I get nude-nude-nude. Which is no good-good-good. Well at least you know I'm a dude-dude-dude. I run around- round-round. Cause I'm not bound-bound-bound. I am never ending talk-talk- talk. Cause this doesn't stop-stop-stop. (Everybody points to their mouth except Tai, who has his arms crossed at the moment.) Cause my name is Tai- Tai-Tai. That one guy-guy-guy. Who drinks Mai Tai-ai-ai's!" The song loudness goes up and gets broader until finally collapsing at the end.
"Are you done yet?" Tai asked annoyed.
"Bom........" Matt added at the end.
"Now we are." Kenny said with a smile.
Tai sticks out his tongue at him. "I don't even know what a Mai Tai is! And I should be able to get half credit for that song whenever you sing it!"
"Don't worry , you will." Sora giggled.

'Gosh, he's so cute. And he's my boyfriend! EXCITING! Okay, must not burst out dancing, must not burst out crying, must not dance or cry. Stay calm. Stay cool.' Sora thought to herself as Matt sang and she sipped her coffee.
'Sora this is for you, you and your coffee. Do you ever separate from it? I love that girl and her coffee. Has to have it special ordered and everything. I know the order by heart. Tall, grande, bold Italian roast latte, with half and half, lots of foam, five packets of sugar, dash of cinnamon, dash of vanilla, and tangy kick, two shots. That girl can order a drink,weird taste though. Love her to bits nevertheless.' Matt thought to himself as he sang his heart out to Sora.

"Nervous?" Sora asked Matt backstage20 minutes prior to the show, as she was wiping the sweat drops off of Matt's head, with a wet towel.
"A little." Matt hesitantly said with a little laughter, as he crack his hands and fingers and neck.
"Hey don't do that, it'll make your bones bigger and stuff, or so I heard." Sora said as she grabbed his hands.
"Yeah, sorry I do that when I'm bored and/or nervous." Matt added with a smile.
"And/or nervous?" Sora smirked.
"Yeah, and/or nervous." Matt smiled back at Sora.
"Well you shouldn't be, cause you're gonna be great, like you always are." Sora said as she looked at Matt.
"What would I do without you?" Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around Sora.
"I don't know, cause after all, you can't survive without me, it's a proven fact, I mean look at yourself before me." Sora sarcastically said as she looked into Matt's sapphire eyes.
"Oh yes, the worst seventeen years of my life." Matt sarcastically said as he looked into Sora's eyes.
"I bet." Sora sarcastically, and motherly said.
"Yes, I was on the wrong path, too many girls, too much parties, too much alcohol, too much sex...." Matt dozed off.
"Shut up!" Sora said as she put her finger on Matt's lips. For a what seemed to be longer than it really was, they looked into each other's eyes, before embracing in a kiss.
"Hey lovebirds! We're on in 15!" Nate shouted as Sora and Matt broke away from their kiss.
"Why does that always happen?" Matt asked. "Always in the kiss, never before or after, always in."
"I don't know!" Sora laughed.
"Matt let's go do the pre-show crap!" John shouted as he entered the stage.
"Kay!" Matt yelled back as he jotted off, but he came back for a peck on the cheek with Sora.
"Knock 'em dead." Sora giggled as Matt kissed her cheek, but as he darted off she added, "Not literally!"
"SORA! WHERE ARE YOU?" a very screechy voice shouted in the background somewhere.
"Mimi? I'm over here!" Sora shouted back.
"Oh hey, there you are!" A mellow, relieved Mimi said as she approached Sora.
"How did you get in here?" Sora asked, confused that she was backstage, when only a certain few are allowed to be.
"This little thing." Mimi smiled as she held up a VIP card, with both hands like a child with a lollipop, and she stuck her tongue out sideways too to clarify that picture.
"How did you get that?!" Sora gasped as she snatched the card.
"Snatched it from the front." Mimi said satisfied with herself.
Sora paused for a moment, the sercurity lock in that ticket office is pretty secure, "No you didn't." she stated.
"Okay I didn't! Izzy made it. Isn't it cool!?" Mimi said with a tone that knew Sora would figured out she had lied.
"Izzy made one for you and not himself?" Sora asked confused.
"No, I never said Izzy made only one." Mimi smiled.
"How many did he make?" Sora asked in her motherly tone, while crossing her arms.
"Well, they have one." Mimi said, kind of scared.
"They?" Sora asked.
"Tai and Izzy." Mimi answered.
"So just two?" Sora asked, motherly.
"Yeah..." Mimi trailed off.
"Mmm hmm, what would you like to add?" Motherly Sora asked.
"Plus, about 20?" Mimi asked with a defeat look upon her face.
"20?" Sora said with a defeat look on HER face, and she didn't yell it either, she gave the "I'm so disappointed in you" tone from a mother of course.
"Well, it's not like we've sold them yet." Mimi added.
"You were gonna sell them?" Sora asked.
"Kind of, well yeah. We had it all worked out, Tai would use his popularity to get people to know about it, Izzy would make it and I would be the one selling it." Mimi added, trying to cheer up Sora, and not get her mad.
"You were gonna sell it and not let me in on it!?" Sora asked, hurt.
"Well yeah, sorry!" Mimi said to Sora with a smile. "We just didn't know what you'd contribute to this bargain. You do, not have the skills to pull this off you know."
"True, true." Sora agreed with a smile.
"Where are the two accomplices anyway?" Sora asked.
"Somewhere around here, probably talking to the dancers." Mimi said as the girls both laughed.
"So how stupid are you anyway to walk backstage with a fake ID anyway." Sora asked, still laughing.
"Well it's not like that guy who's letting us in all that bright anyway, and besides a boy genius made these babies!" Mimi ecstatically stated as she pointed to the card.
"Well, how stupid are you for walking up to me with a fake ID anyway, when you know I'd get mad?" A still laughing, yet motherly Sora said.
"HEY, I'm not stupid, I totally resent that. And anyway, I knew you couldn't be mad at me for long." Mimi stated sticking out her tongue at Sora.
"True, true." Sora agreed.
"And besides, I don't even know why we don't have backstage access and you do, when we're friends of the band too" Mimi said gesturing herself and Sora.
"I'm the lead singers girlfriend." Sora said with a proud look on her face.
"Throw that in my face again!" Mimi sarcastically said with a laugh.
"Oh are you saying you're jealous of me and Matt?" Sora added with a laugh and hint of sarcasm.
"Yeah, I'm saying that, Whatcha gonna do about it huh?" Mimi said, with her sarcastic bring it on voice.
"What am I gonna do about it?" Sora said, gesturing herself.
"Yeah, you." Mimi said, with a laugh.
"Yeah." Sora added.
"Yeah." Mimi added.
"Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." Went on in a broader voice span between the girls, before...
"Hey guys." Said Tai, with a mouth full of food and a sub sandwich in one hand. And accompanied by Izzy. "Whatcha fighting about?" he added as tomato and lettuce flew out of his mouth.
"Tai swallow the food in your mouth already!" an annoyed Izzy said. Tai gulped.
"We're not fighting?" Sora said confused.
"Why were you yelling?" Tai asked, with mayonnaise on the side of his mouth.
"Girl talk." Mimi said, offended.
"Girl talk?" Tai asked, wiping his mayonnaise.
"Yeah, got a problem with it?" Sora asked Tai, while crossing her arms.
"Best to leave that topic alone." Izzy said with his hand up by his mouth and head pointed toward Tai, only talking to Tai and whispering.
"Ah. Right." Tai said, getting the picture.
"It was just a bit of fun, no harm done." Sora said to answer Tai's question.
"Fun?" Izzy asked drawn into the conversation.
"Yeah." Mimi included.
"It is fun for girls to yell at each other?" Izzy asked, confused.
"Yeah!...Sometimes!" Mimi added.
"Oh just leave it alone, you're not a girl." Sora ended.
"And thank gosh! I'd be confused all the time, you women are too hard to understand." Tai said as food flew out of his mouth.
"You'd be confused all the time? What's the difference from now?" Izzy added.
"HEY!" Tai said after a few minutes of thinking about it. (As a tomato hung from his mouth of course.)
"Gross Tai." Sora said grabbing a napkin and wiping his face for him.
"Thanks Sora." Tai said with a hungry look on his face still.
"Where did you get that sandwich from anyway." Sora asked, suspicious.
"Oh, over there, it's on the long table, and all this other food was on it too, it was just sitting there, waiting to be eaten, and it's FREE! It even said so!" Tai said pointing to a far off place.
"Omigod, Tai, did you eat all the food?" Sora asked, kind of frightened and worried.
"Yeah, me and Izzy here pulled a Shaggy and Scooby and clean that thing up." Tai said very proud of himself. (An: I do not own any Scooby Doo things or Scooby Doo related official stuff.)
"Hmm mmm," Izzy gestured toward himself. "Me and Izzy?"
"Oh sorry, Izzy and I. Happy now?" Tai said correcting himself. Izzy gave a look upon his face that just gave up. (Cause that's not what he meant, and I'm telling you this in case I don't imply good innuendo.)
"TAI! That's the food for the people!" Sora said, pretty angry toward Tai.
"What?" Tai asked confused.
"Camerman, lightmen, soundmen, behind-the-scene people and the band, during the intermission." Sora added, with a look of annoyance.
"And yes, where are these 'people' you say?" Tai said with quotation mark fingers, not convinced.
"The shows on Tai, people need to work you know." Said Sora with her arms crossed.
"When will they eat it?" Tai said, still unconvinced that they would need the food.
"It's a courtesy, and it's during intermission." Sora said.
"OH! That explains it!" Tai said with a hesitant laugh.
"Tai! Even I knew that, and I haven't been backstage before!" Mimi said gesturing herself.
"What are we going to do?" Sora asked, worried.
"I have an idea!" Izzy said.
"Go figures." Tai added.
"Shut up Tai!" Mimi and Sora said in unison as Tai gave an anime sweat drop.
"Yolie's family owns one of those convenience stores, she owes me a favor anyway for fixing her computer club's computers." Izzy stated.
"And you think they have those food thingys?" Mimi asked, confused. "I've never been to one of those before!"
"Of course you've never lifted a finger to work before, you're rich." Tai said.
"Doy Tai." Mimi said.
"Thank you so much Izzy!" Sora said as she gave Izzy a hug.
"Hey no problem, let go. I'll be back in time for the intermission? Is that when they serve the food?" Izzy asked as he got out his keys.
"Yeah." Sora said.
"Okay, be right back." Izzy said as he headed toward the door.
"Wait, take Tai with you, I don't want to babysit him!" Mimi said as she pushed Tai toward the door.
"Babysit?" Tai asked, shocked.
"Chayeah! Just go." Mimi said as Izzy shrugged his shoulders and headed toward the door, followed by Tai.
"Now, do you see why we don't give backstage passes?" Sora asked Mimi when the boys left.
"Yeah, I'm beginning to see why." Mimi said still dazed at their conversation.
"Want to go find our seats?" Sora asked, pointing the way.
"What, oh yeah sure." Mimi said walking toward the door that leads to the audience.
"No, we're watching this in style." Sora said as she pulled Mimi around the curtain and up a little flight of stairs hidden behind the curtains on the other side.
"Where are we going?" Mimi shockingly asked.
"You'll see." Said an excited Sora, as they reached the end of the stairs to a platform atop the stairs to see the band from directly above.
"As I stated before, where are we going?" Mimi asked.
Upstairs
"Here. It's a little spot where no one else goes." Sora whispered to Mimi as they sat down.
"Why are we whispering? And why does no one go here?" Mimi asked.
"The lights don't work." Sora stated. "It is, or was a light stage thing, where they control the lights."
"But how do the lighting people do the lights?" Mimi asked.
"That thing." Sora said pointing to the lighting booth across the stage. "It's new, better technology, better than standing up here the whole time."
"Wasn't that always there?" Mimi inquired.
"No." Sora laughed. "Shh, it's starting.
"I wasn't the one talking, but okay." Mimi muttered.
"Oh, isn't he just handsome!" Sora squeaked from atop.
"Oh come on, you can only see the top of his head!" Mimi whispered jokingly.
"It's still cute! Every golden lock is in place." Sora said as she looked down gazingly toward Matt.
"Oh how cute, you could probably tell it's him from 'behind.' " Mimi said.
"I probably could." Sora laughed.
"Well, then I give you my blessing." Mimi laughed.
"Your blessing?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, you are now accepted as an official couple." Mimi said proudly.
"And since when do we need your blessing to be an official couple?" Sora said.
"Since forever! Everyone knows that I'm queen of social status!" Mimi said proudly.
"Oh I get it Queen Mimi." Sora joked.
"Yeah, laugh if you may, but I really am." Mimi simply stated.
"I'm just joking with you! But, curiously I would like to ask, why didn't we get this blessing sooner? We have been goon out for a year." Sora asked Mimi.
"Well, to tell you the truth I, um, actually..." Mimi stuttered a bit.
"What?" Sora laughed.
"I thought I liked Matt okay!" Mimi burst out, loud enough for only Sora to hear, as there was still a concert going on.
"Yeah, everyone does." Sora said in a laidback voice that didn't even care.
"You didn't phase? You okay? Shouldn't you be mad that I thought I was in love with your boyfriend?" Mimi asked, stunned.
"Eh, I'm used to it by now, I mean every girl loves Matt see." Sora said, laidback, and pointing to tons of pposters that said 'I love Matt Ishida!' and 'Will you marry me Matt?' "and I kind of figured so anyway." Sora said, still in her laidback voice.
"Oh, was I that obvious?" Mimi said stunned at herself.
"'Matt can you walk me to class? Oh Matt I've seemed to have dropped all my books!'" Sora said mimicking Mimis voice in a joking manner.
"I'm so sorry Sora." Mimi said, kind of guilty that she use to like Matt.
"Well, I gotta get use to it, if my boyfriend is gonna be famous." Sora said proudly.
"So you're not jealous at all?" Mimi asked.
"Not at all." Sora said laidback.
"Wow." Mimi said shocked.
"It's the love." Sora stated as she got up form her laidback position. And Mimi drew closer to hear Sora's words. "It's like I feel like I'm flying without wings and I'm not scared, but I am, but I'm not. Because I know I could get hurt, but it's okay, cause it's worth it and I know Matt will be there to catch me. And I know it sound corny and cliché and cheesy, but that's how I feel about him and it's just the happiness that I want to capture and treasure for the rest of my life."
"That was beautiful Sora." Mimi said, tears swelling up.
"Why did you tell me you like Matt anyway?" Sora asked wanting to know.
"Well, I think I kind of like someone else." Mimi said as she blushed.
"Who?" Sora asked, obviously wanting to know.
"Well it's..." Mimi started.
"Well it's time for the intermission, but don't worry girls, the teenage wolves will be right back!" The announcer yelled over the speakers.
"I never knew you have 'intermissions' like this during concerts." Mimi stated.
"Me too, but apparently, they do." Sora said, "I can't believe we talked all that time during the first half."
"Yeah, but at least we paid attention to the first two songs." Mimi suggested.
"No we didn't." Sora laughed.
"Hey, I tried, but it's not like you've never heard their songs before." Mimi said, shrugging her shoulders.
"True, true. Let's go meet up with the band." Sora said, dragging Mimi up and down the stairs.
"Okay!" Mimi said as she was dragged down the stairs.
Downstairs
"Hey Sor, so, how did we do?" Matt asked as Sora came down the stairs.
"Um, unbelievably charming! Definitely one of you best performances honey." Sora said as she embraced in Matt's arms.
"Hey where's Tai and Izzy?" Mimi asked, looking around.
"Oh talking to the dancers." Matt said pointing somewhere.
"What!?!?!?" Mimi gulped as she ran to the direction that Matt was pointing.
"You guys don't have dancers." Sora said, looking at Matt.
"I know that and you know that, but she didn't need to know that." Matt said as he smiled at Sora.
"Where are Tai and Izzy anyway?" Sora asked.
"Oh, they dropped off new food apparently, because some dork ate everything else." Matt laughed as Matt and Sora sat across from each other at a table. Sora laughed hesitantly.
"Um, where are they now?" Sora asked.
"Somewhere, trying to pass themselves as teenage wolves to our fans." Matt smiled in his 'cool voice.'
"Oh, so how many minutes do you have left for the intermission?" Sora asked hinting something.
"About seven minutes." Matt said. Suddenly, Sora and Matt gave a look to each other and abruptly stood up and ran off to somewhere. (AN: To give you a better idea of this part, if you ever watch 'That 70s Show,' which I do not own, it's like the part when Red and Kitty look at each other, whenever one of them mentions that Eric's not home.)
END OF CHAPTER THREE
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I think I made Tai to ditsy, and I'm terribly sorry! I'll try to make it better next chapter. I'm too lazy to proofread. I will someday. I'm pretty happy I finished this, and on June 8th at one a.m. And I started like on June 2nd around, I forgot. Well, sorry to leave you with this innuendo, but I really don't want to explain this part. It's innuendo anyway. Well, till next time! (Oh and if it's not too much trouble, should this be Michi or Koumi?)
UPDATES: I'm not gonna try not to lie, but I'll get the next chapter out when I can and am out of writer's block.
CLIFFHANGER: Who does Mimi like? What is going to happen next. When will the plot finally play out?
NEXT CHAPTER: Some great new will be given out. Or is it really even great news?
